About The Position

Kitchen Porter - Hawksmoor Chicago Chicago is the historical powerhouse of American beef, and when Hawksmoor found out about an actual powerhouse building, it felt like fate. So, after years of dreaming, we've set out eyes on coming to Chicago. And we've found ourselves a home we cannot wait to settle into. The LaSalle Street Cable Car Powerhouse is a beautiful, designated landmark, initially opened in 1887, in the heyday of Chicago's cable care system. We intend to do it justice by restoring the original features to their former glory and, at the same time, breathe new life into the space. Reporting to the Executive Chef, we're looking for a brand-new Dishwasher to join our team and open our second international restaurant in Chicago. Work somewhere awesome: Careers with Hawksmoor Group are among the best - generous pay and benefits, award-winning restaurants, unrivalled career opportunities and some of the happiest people in the business (as voted by the people who work here). The Sunday Times has recognised us in their Best Companies awards, for seven years in a row, as one of the top 100 companies to work for in the UK and we endeavour to do the same in the US.
